Someone’s Trash is Someone Else’s Treasure

I love seeing the potential something has. I love going to garage sales or antique shops and finding a piece and thinking, “I can work with that!” These are some of my past finds and what they have been transformed into. Sorry I don’t have step by step instructions or specific colors used for these…they were BTB (Before the Blog). I promise future posts will have more details.

It’s amazing what some paint and sandpaper can do. I found this piece at a local garage sale for $40.

This was a piece I found on Craigslist for $15.

I absolutely LOVE anything mosaic! I found this piece at a garage sale. It was missing the middle insert. The guy who was selling it said it was originally a slate slab that had cracked. I think I paid $5 for it. Some paint, a plywood insert, some smashed tiles from Home Depot, a little bit of grout, and voila, a mosaic table is born! Did I mention how happy everything mosaic makes me?? 🙂
